Scott has been a case of arrested development ever since his firefighter father died when he was seven. He's now reached his mid-20s having achieved little, chasing a dream of becoming a tattoo artist that seems far out of reach. As his ambitious younger sister heads off to college, Scott is still living with his exhausted ER nurse mother and spends his days smoking weed, hanging with the guys — Oscar, Igor and Richie — and secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey. But when his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter named Ray, it sets off a chain of events that will force Scott to grapple with his grief and take his first tentative steps toward moving forward in life.

MovieComedy
Mike Vecchione’s “Low Income White” turns clean comedy on its head with a razor-sharp set that’s equal parts smart, self-deprecating, and relentlessly funny. With the gritty rhythm of the Northeast and the polish of a comedy veteran, Vecchione unloads a barrage of fast-paced, observational humor that hits on everything from aging and generational divides to the absurdity of modern life. Navigating the world with sarcastic precision and deadpan charm, Vecchione doesn’t pull punches—but he doesn’t play favorites either. No one is safe, including himself. It’s clean comedy with an edge, and a masterclass in making the mundane feel hilariously high-stakes.
